That's it! I give up! I can't do it anymore! I forfeit!
Boy oh boy am I like a broken record... well, one that plays every couple of weeks, but the same thing over and over and over and over..... yeah, ok, so you get the picture?
I know, I keep saying every time, this time it's different, I'm going to post every day.... I promise I'll post more... I'm determined to post more... yadee yadee yada... Well I give up.
As much as I LOOOOOVE my blog, and blogging, and plants, and everything that goes along with those things, sadly at the moment I've been too busy to post a "half decent" blog post... you know the kind, lots of words, long stories, plenty of photos... well, I sadly simply just can't manage it, so I think now I'll just have to settle with uploading some photos every now and then, and then putting in a story every once in a while if I can manage it... what do you think? You see, if it wasn't for homework; study; assignments; school; lack of sleep; 5-acres and 4 shadehouses worth of gardening, I would probably have all the time in the world to write and post about plants.... but then again, if that were so, then I'd probably have nothing to write about. LOL.

Well... hmmm.... (think boy, think!)... well, let's see then, last time I posted I'd been to the Botanic Gardens (oh how that was so lovely, I saw heaps of stuff that I never knew existed... the gardens are more impessive then I'd thought...), since then I've missed out on yet ANOTHER EDOS meeting (for which I'm devastated), oooh, oooh! I have recently joined a forum called The Australian Carnivorous Plants Forum and it is absolutely AMAZING! The people there are so nice and helpful, it's really cool, and I even got to meet one of them members recently when I responded to a post of his offering big bags of sphag moss for free because he was refurbishing his green house... anyways, I went around to his house and he was the nicest guy ever, showed me around, I feel like I talked his ears off, and then to top if off I got 2 MASSIVE garbage bin bags full of perfectly good Sphagnum Moss.... so what out plants, come spring, you're being repotted :D.
|Nepenthes ventricosa x truncata
Ooooh, I've had a heap of bulbs flower (after I refridgerated them), my carnivores are coming out of dormancy, and some other stuff has flowered... but I guess I'd best save those short descriptions and photos for another time (hopefully REALLY SOON!!!!), but for now, enjoy the happy snaps, and as always
Happy Gardening,

Winter wedding at Byland Abbey
Laura and Davids' North Yorkshire wedding was held at St. Cuthbert's church in the village of Crayke with the reception held at the very picturesque Abbey Inn at Byland Abbey. The snowy conditions meant wellies were required for our bride for much of the day which meant we were able to take full advantage of the fantastic setting.

Self-governing vehicle innovation may soon get off the ground, with Airbus uncovering its arrangements to trial a self-flying urban transport vehicle before the finish of 2017. The airplane producer uncovered its aims of testing a model single-individual airborne transport unit as a feature of venture Vahana.
President of Airbus, Tom Enders, told Reuters that the organization has been taking a shot at its vertical arrival and take-off (VTOL) capacities and testing the reasonability of a vehicle that can work inside the city. To this end the organization made a different unit called Urban Air Mobility to create individual transportation. Their thought is to at last make an armada of helicopter-like self-governing vehicles that individuals can hail utilizing their versatile applications, much the same as auto hailing administrations however completely equipped for robotic operation.
Airbus To Examine Self-Flying Urban Vehicle In 2017
Airbus is taking this venture "genuinely", Enders said at a tech gathering in Munich today. He likewise noticed that an airborne answer for moving merchandise and individuals inside the urban setting would help the issue of cluster inside urban areas.
The best part is that Airbus is attempting to actualize an electric power framework for the art. Four rotors with alterable situating are probably going to be the fundamental element, yet electric engines are another center concentration region. Airbus needs to guarantee that the vehicle, once sent, doesn't add to the declining issue of urban contamination.
Despite the fact that this exertion may seem like it's removed from the pages of a sci-fi novel, Airbus is entirely situated to take the best of self-governing vehicle innovation and electric vehicles, and add its own flying capacities to attempt and make something like this. Who superior to a creator of helicopters and an air transportation veteran of over forty years to grow such a radical urban transport arrangement?
In any case, that is less demanding said than done. It is one thing to make a model and even test it out effectively, yet regarding sending armada, Airbus is certain to keep running into colossal difficulties. Not exclusively does it need to take care of real building issues that have plagued man since flight was made conceivable, however it likewise needs to persuade controllers that a flying taxi with no pilot is sufficiently fit to fly around over thickly populated regions.

Sega didn't exactly light the world on fire with its managerial conference in Japan today (see this story), but one area should be of interest to gamers everywhere - specifically PC owners. The company again gave vague reference to the licensing of a chip containing all of the Dreamcast architecture for use in PDAs, next generation cell phones, car navigation systems, televisions and set top boxes, but also clarified how gamers will be able to play Dreamcast games in their PC.
We brought you a story a few weeks back about this so-called "Dreamcast Card," but we were concerned about how a PC could read a GD-ROM. Sega of America's tech department commented to us that's it's not possible. Well, it may not be necessary. According to Japan's Game Site EG, reporting from the briefing, it's possible that future software may ship on DVDs. We assume this is in addition to Dreamcast-specific GD-ROM versions.
Sega seems to be attempting this DC on PC thing in order to keep developers from having to develop software both for PC and DC, and to increase the range of possible users for Dreamcast software. The company does have further plans for this idea of making Dreamcast software playable by various machines, and representative vice president Hideki Saitou states that the company is working on various projects.
Hmm... how about a card that you can stick in your PS2?
Just kidding.

Produced, directed, written by Robert McGinley. A dynamic performance by teen thesp Brendan Fletcher anchors "Jimmy Zip," a peculiar but effective take on lost youth. Hampered only by a silly third act that dulls the keen edges that come before it, pic is otherwise full of genuine emotion. Though mainstream success seems unlikely — its general themes revolve around art and alchemy — other fests in the market for a well-acted look at life-gone-wrong will fare nicely with this "Oliver Twist"-like tryst, which copped the Hollywood Film Festival's prize for best feature made for under $ 1 million.
In "Zip," director-writer Robert McGinley brings a raw attitude to his fascination with pyromania. Concerned with the destructive and creative forces behind fire, McGinley, while not always grounded in reality, manages to home in on the friendship that sprouts among radically different individuals.
At home, abusive foster father (Ike Gingrich) has resorted to calling his son Jimmy Zip (as in "nothing"). With an extremely large chip on his shoulder and an even bigger firecracker, Jimmy vents his anger by blowing up the bathroom and heading for Hollywood, where, on his first night, he encounters a gang of fellow runaways, led by Sheila (Adrienne Frantz) and Snake (Zia).
Late in the evening, while learning how to wash windshields and panhandle, Jimmy hooks up with Rick Conesco (Chris Mulkey), a local drug dealer and pimp who offers him shelter and money in exchange for peddling small stashes.
On the way back from one of his pickups, Jimmy and his friends go to a junkyard and terrorize Horace Metcalf (Robert Gossett), a black craftsman who's stricken with Tourette's syndrome and lives in his car. After a scuffle, Horace grabs the boy's jacket, only to find $ 20,000 of Rick's money tucked inside.
Owning up to the costly mistake, Jimmy realizes that Rick wants to kill Horace. The boy then returns to the scrap metal haven out of panic, and the two form a camaraderie with mutual gains: Horace gets a sculpting partner with ties to much-needed cash, and Jimmy finds a mentor. Story's sweet nature then heads south as Jimmy and Horace become involved with the gallery world and are forced to sell their work in order to repay Rick and save their lives.
There have been more than enough movies about troubled kids and their street smarts, but "Zip" benefits from its reliance on basic enthusiasm instead of seedy, prurient plotting stuffed with hustlers who'll do anything to survive. And while there is a hooker-with-a-heart subplot and the bad guys seem to have come directly from a "Kojak" episode ("Lemme at 'em, boss!"), the overall approach feels unforced.
Fletcher is right-on as the clueless minor who musters up confidence as his renegade existence unfurls; thesp possesses a live-wire unpredictability and resembles Brendan Sexton III, both physically and dramatically. He's matched by a strong turn from Gossett, who, with his sympathetic voice and optimistic spirit, makes the most of his role as Jimmy's makeshift guardian.
Where "Zip" stumbles is at the finish line. Its engaging charm is blindsided by an improbable trip into the cutthroat business arena where inventorsand criminals intersect. It's a noble venture, but one that belongs somewhere else, and another visit to the editing bay might help to maintain the emotion that develops during "Zip's" best parts.
Adding to the production's gritty composition but also calling attention to its budgetary limitations, tech credits are a bit rough, while Geoff Levin's atmospheric score is standout.

AFAIK only CentOS ships browsers with CACerts root cert. The certificate for the currently used CA is not shipped within Fedora browsers, too. Otherwise I probably would not have noticed the certificate of Koji. Thererfore using cacert would be no regression this way.

Wow, where do I start?? The beginning is usually a good place...
|Tek Recon CEO Brad Pedersen & I rock the Hammerhead & Havok
I have to say, there is something special about this team, they were so personable, down to earth and so friendly - a good laugh to be around. They were so passionate about this product, and I could see it every time they spoke about it to potential Distributors and Retail Representatives. Enjoy:
2x Hammer Head Blasters
30x NRG pcs
2x NRG Cartridges
2x Exploding Tek Targets
2x Smart Phone Mounts
1x QR (Quick Response) GPS flag
|The Quick Response (QR) GPS Flag
|Exploding Tek Target
|One of the POS (Point of Sale) units you should keep an eye out for in August!
These are a brilliant idea, mini POS for 25x NRG rounds that can be grabbed quickly at till points in case you need them and haven't got time to lose your place in the queue - or plain want to grab them as an add on sale before you leave the store. Handy, very handy! These will retail for $4.99 per pack.
These are the rounds/ammo that the Tek Recon blasters will be using. On average you will get several 1,000 uses out of each round, before any sign of deterioration starts to show. Given the name of NRG - No Mess, Reusable, Gamesafe, they give a massive edge over say foam ammo because they give an ammo capacity never seen before. Performance wise, you know when the round hits you, there is a noticeable tag when it hits the target. Range wise, it is the main component of reaching the said ranges of up to 75 feet. This is realistically achievable, IF gamers set the Calibration switch to 'Distance'. More on how this works later because it is THIS Calibration Switch that is the game changer!
1x Hammer Head Blaster
15x NRG pcs
1x Smart Phone Mount
|(difficulty with YouTube right now, will upload my videos later)
Tek Recon Hammer Head - check out Urban Taggers E3 Expo coverage
|Hammer Head refill Cartridge MSRP: $4.99
Loading these Cartridges are very easy, very straight forward and very quick. In battle you could carry 8 of these Cartridges for every 1x CS-18 Nerf clip. That payload is mind-blowing for any Nerf battle gamer or HvZ player to say the least.
|There is an ambidextrous Cartridge release which allows rapid reload
|Boom - quick switch and good to go!
Tip from Brad Pedersen - You can add NRG rounds to the handle for extra grip!
1x Havok Blaster
36x NRG pcs
1x NRG Cartridge
1x Smart Phone Mount
|(difficulty with YouTube right now, will upload my videos later)
This I guess is the flagship Blaster of the Tek Recon range. First off, I have to say this, you instantly feel the quality. It is a real hefty Blaster. There are literally no faux bolts or screw heads on the blaster. In fact it is full of Allen key bolts and screws, with real Phillips screws. I managed to take a brief shot of the internals, but the pics have not come off good enough to share them. I'm not entirely sure if this can be opened - I guess Mod community it's down to you to have a crack ;)
The mechanism, from what I could see, or understand - seemed to work on a series of sliding flat plate mechanisms. Kind of like how a Swiss Army Knife is stacked on top of each other. You get me folks? What I can confirm is that the mechanism is built for rapid fire. Full. Auto. Fire.
Let your imagination run wild as to what is in store for all us TRibe back at camp. Get excited.
Real Recoil:
This has many people thinking that it is a gimmick, but I can assure you that the recoil is linked to the trigger mechanism. The Cartridge feed is part of the mechanism, as the recoil action chambers the next round. Unlike the Nerf Maverick, Strongarm blasters, you can't manually prime the blaster. You don't need to do that. This is where Tek Recon come in to their own, for supplying Stock blasters that genuinely offer us gamers the opportunity to dual wield without hassle of priming tricks.
Whether you dual wield or rock solo, you get a quality feel, a real feel of knowing you have an impressive product in your hands.
|Say HELLO to my little friend! How smexy would it be to dual wield this! :D
|Pocket breaks it down John Woo style - my new man crush right now :D
Alright, what's next? The Game Changer at the Flip of a Switch!
|"All hail MegaTekron!"
- Well, kinda :P
Whilst Nerf blasters have a lot of awesome tech in their mechanics and look, Tek Recon are winning over a lot of the Nerf Internet Community. From the aesthetics of the blasters, and after having a long play around and many a demo, for me I believe Optimus 'Nerf' Prime has met a respectable opponent. Let me tell you more about this Game Changing Calibration Switch:
This mechanism is on both the Hammer Head and the Havok. In the pic it is currently Calibrated to maximum 'Distance'. This effectively creates a Long Shot style rifle/pistol. Making use of the pump-action, you can pull off (after getting used to handling the blasters) effective, accurate, consistent long range pot shots. I was pretty stunned at how this little dude that flips the competition on it's head.
Simply put, the Havok turns into a long range rifle, the Hammer Head turns into an affective long range sidearm blaster. In the situation where you are low on ammo, this is an ideal way of conserving ammo and making every round count.
The blasters are both hardwired in semi-auto mode, I have to make that clear. But when you slide on over to the 'Rapid' Calibration, it's total....
- ...Scarface moment :D
You can completely switch up your game style, adapt to the moment/situation. If you are required to play a Support role, 'Distance' is your friend. But if the situation requires you to form a Close Quarter Battle unit, then sliding over to the 'Rapid' changes both the Havok and the Hammer Head into complete beasts. The hail of fire you can lay down is awesome, and the Havok with it's massive capacity makes every user a potential threat on the battle field. Suited best to the trigger, you can match any stock full-auto/slam-fire Nerf blaster hands down.
I personally found myself using the Calibration Switch as an "all or nothing" measure - the slider in the middle just left me wanting. Once the rest of the TRibe get their hands on their pledge and retail release, you will understand what I mean better :)
SPEAKING of performance, I asked what the range nerfs would be for different territories like Hasbro products. Once the laughing stopped, they said that there will be absolutely no range nerf - why should gamers have any less experience than others playing with Tek Recon? It just wouldn't make sense when it came to tournaments. Mmmmmmh TOURNAMENTS xD -- AWESOME :D

|Tek Recon Havok refill Cartridge MSRP: $14.99
These folk at Tek Recon really did their homework. These Cartridges are really something special. The fact that you can pack your Havok with max capacity of 72 rounds you are something of a non stop blasting machine :) Hitting the battlefield vs any Nerf player - you can make fast work of a number of gamers and have ammo left to spare. If you start stacking these cartridges... then man, throw a bandana on and Rambo it up!! Knowing that you have such a massive capacity at your disposal with a reload of seconds (just flip the clip) and the fighting does not stop. Major kudos to the team for this, they let fans play longer without any painful downtime, or need to carry the latest molle5000.
The Smart Phone Cradle:
The cradle! There has been a lot of worry and rightful concern when it comes to popping in your Smartphone. Insurance or not, you don't want to be risking damage every time. Todd advised that Tek Recon will be recommending the TRibe make use of a protective casing when using their phones in battle (we all use something to that affect anyway). More on this later, but here is the unit:
Once the teeth are locked in on the cradle, the smartphone is locked in place securely. You really have to apply a deal of pressure to undo the locked teeth in either way.
The difference between the Nerf AR cradle and Tek Recon is that the Nerf unit offers a very solid - but limited smartphone fitting. The Tek Recon unit is put together in a smart way that it offers much the same protection but allows a wider fitting of smartphone (iPhone up to Galaxy S4!!!).
I highlighted the fact fans had an issue with dropping the blaster with a smartphone in them. Todd put his own iPhone in the cradle, mounted it on the Hammer Head and dropped the unit. The Blaster itself is weighted, it landed safely with the iPhone intact. Fans should note they are in process of adding claws on the sides of the cradle to further protect and secure the smartphone.
The Free downloadable App:
The Tek Recon App will not be something you can use with Nerf blasters, for the simple reason that there it requires hammer that mimics human input. What's on show? We get powerups, scopes, sound effects, and game types, ability to take in battle snaps, track top world player rankings, and more.
There will be a main central game server, that hosts preselected timed games (15mins, 20mins,+++). Once players are in the lobby, selected which teams they will be on (they will be able to handle up to 50 players), they are all thrown in to the game. It should be noted, that once the gamers are in, no one can join later. Is that going to be a massive problem...? Perhaps if a friend turns up late and is locked out. So what happens? Everyone drops out of the game, and recreate a fresh game? Should a game be idle, I understand the server will drop the game itself which is a good thing for gamers to avoid lag and latency.
Battery drain is simply down to your smartphone using 3g/WiFi/4g and what ever other processes you might have running. Pretty much everything is server side, which is a brilliant idea. Once the game launches, it is all server side so no worry as mentioned of the Host dropping, or such related issues.
Game types:
Team Supremacy
(difficulty with YouTube right now, will upload my videos later)
This is very much part of the Tek Recon gaming experience, and I have to say that this adds something special. So what do you get?
You also get the option to take in battle snaps at 2 simple finger taps. You can get powerups from Drone Strike (1shot kill - takes the player clean out of the game), Medic (resurrects Droned players), Comms Hacker (listen to enemy strategy), GPS-Hacker (interrupt enemy GPS - block Nukes, Scope zoom in your direction, etc), and a number of other quirky game changers. Players must carefully pick their Powerup, and use their skills wisely. Twists no blaster games have had to date.
IF you do not see a Powerup you want to see, get straight to Tek Recons FB page, and let them know what you want to see, or even your ideas. These folks are bang on feedback, and are taking everything into consideration to help mould and create a product for fans by fans!
Additional accessories and fun stuff:
|This was really fun to shoot at - would you buy one? Let them know on FB!
|Clear frame Tek Vision
Other Accessories? According to Todd, there is a lot in the works for Year 2. Whilst I can't say what those are, we are in for a treat from Scopes, Holsters, TacVests, and Slings (apparently there IS a way to add them - I can't see where!)
I have to say that I am impressed with how much thought has gone into the product and services available thru the App.
I did discuss the opportunity of an official Tek Recon tournament, there are plans in the works, but folks if you want it to happen - get on their FB page and TELL them!!!
No company right now is providing us with any kind of official tournament, we have so much power, and they are willing to listen to what we want. Lets make it happen!

GST Return
Your GST return for the period ended 30 September will be prepared as usual, except that there will be an additional adjustment calculation for those on the payments basis.
Essentially the adjustment calculation is:-
Accounts Payable – Accounts Receivable ÷ 51.75.
This will be included in either Box 9 or Box 13 of the GST Return. See the example on page 2 of the GST105 below.
Accounting Software
To simplify transactions after 1 October 2010, ensure your data file is as clean as possible e.g. credit notes entered, bad debts written off.
Complete all reconciliations to 30 September 2010 when preparing GST Return. You will require a full list of Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable as at 30 September 2010 to prepare this GST Return.
All invoices issued on or before 30 September will have GST charged at the rate of 12.5%. All invoices issued on or after 1 October will have GST charged at the rate of 15%.
A relief provision allows 11 days after 30 September to issue invoices dated 30 September 2010 and earlier. (The rationale for this is to allow the "plumber's wife" two weekends to catch up on invoicing.)
To prevent errors between periods, it is essential that you lock all periods to 30 September 2010 once GST is complete.
Accounting and payroll software should be updated prior to entering any transactions from 1 October 2010.
Useful resources and links
The following links are useful for the GST rate change and completing the transitional GST adjustment:
IRD Guide – 2010 Rate Change Guide
This describes both the transitional process and details how to deal with specific transactions.
The return for the period ended 30 September 2010 is the usual GST return.
GST 105 – GST Rate Change Adjustment Calculation Sheet
This is the form to adjust for Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable which will then be included in either Box 9 or Box 13 of your September GST Return.

NEW YORK — The European Currency Unit can`t be used to pay for a meal at a fancy French restaurant, but its growing role as an international currency makes that dream of Eurocrats not as far-fetched as cynics once thought.
The ECU, created as part of the European Monetary System launched in March, 1979, by European Common Market countries, has its value set against a basket of member-country currencies and is backed by a fund supported by them. Although many at the time thought the ECU would amount to little more than a bookkeeping oddity, an estimated $10 billion in ECU bonds have been sold since the first one was offered in 1981, including $1 billion by such corporations as Reynolds Industries, IBM World Trade, Chrysler Finance and GTE Finance.

By Marwa Awad and Edmund Blair
CAIRO (Reuters) - Ahmed Shafiq says he has the military and political experience needed to lead Egypt into a new democratic era, yet Hosni Mubarak's last prime minister has divided voters and drawn angry protests with his bid to become president.
Shafiq's supporters see his military background as guarantee he can restore order after 14 months of turmoil. Opponents see him as leftover from the old order and mock him as the "candy man" for once suggesting anti-Mubarak protesters should be offered sweets during demonstrations.
The former air force commander's campaign got off to a turbulent start. He was disqualified from the race this week on the basis of a law drawn up by his Islamist rivals, an announcement that came four days after his wife had died of cancer.
Then, in a dramatic U-turn less than 48 hours later, the election committee reinstated him, fuelling suspicions that he is the favorite candidate of the generals who have ruled Egypt since Mubarak was deposed in February 2011.
If he wins the first real presidential race in Egypt's history, he will continue a decades-long tradition of presidents who have come from top military posts. Mubarak was, like Shafiq, an air force commander, before he took the top job.
"You cannot suddenly bring a civilian man with no relation or knowledge of military life and make him a president and the supreme commander of the armed forces," he told Reuters in February, saying he could ensure a "smooth transition".
The vote is set for May 23-24, with a run-off scheduled in June for the top two vote-getters. None of the 13 candidates is expected to win more than 50 percent of the votes and seal victory in the first round.
Egypt's army vows to hand over power on July 1 but analysts expect it to wield influence from behind the scenes for years.
"Civilians may be in a hurry and they think that as soon as the new president is elected he will act freely of the military. No, this will not be the case," Shafiq, 70, said in the interview.
Though the military may be comfortable with a president who comes from their ranks, a Shafiq presidency could spark new unrest from those who harbor deep-seated suspicions about the army's role and fear it wants to hijack the uprising.
Banners featuring his picture are held up by demonstrators demanding that Mubarak-era politicians and officials - known by the Arabic term "feloul" meaning "remnants" - be excluded from public life.
Shafiq makes no secret of his close ties with the army.
"I have good relations with the field marshal," Shafiq told Reuters. He said he had spoken with Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi before making a final decision over his bid, though he didn't disclose what Egypt's military ruler had told him.
"They (the army) do want the transition to conclude. They do want to be out of frontline of politics," said a Western diplomat, adding that the army could be back restoring order if the streets flared up again. "It is not in their interest for there to be large-scale instability," the diplomat said.
Shafiq's presidential bid almost foundered because of a law that was passed by Egypt's new Islamist-dominated parliament that bars top officials from Mubarak's era, including former prime ministers, from the presidential race.
He was prime minister just over a month, appointed in the final days of Mubarak's rule as a last-ditch attempt to placate protesters. He lasted about three weeks after Mubarak fell.
He appealed against his expulsion on grounds the law was unconstitutional, and was reinstated pending a court's decision over the law's compliance with the constitution.
Shafiq, a straight-talker known for often wearing sweaters in public, has shrugged off his opposition: "I have looked at the CVs of other candidates and I was surprised that they dare run for president," he told an Egyptian television interviewer.
Shafiq's main rivals are Mohamed Mursi of the Muslim Brotherhood, a group that Mubarak and his government banned; Abdel Moneim Abol Fotouh, a moderate Islamist seeking to win broad support; and Amr Moussa, the former Arab League chief and foreign minister.
In a military career spanning four decades, Shafiq served in wars with Israel and is credited with shooting down an Israeli aircraft in the 1973 war. He has pledged to uphold Egypt's peace deal with Israel, but criticizes Israeli policies.
"I object to Israel's current actions. But," he added, "I am a man who honors past agreements."
When he led the air force in the 1990s, Shafiq sought to acquire more advanced weapons and make the force more modern. But Egyptian officials say Washington, which provides Egypt with $1.3 billion in annual aid in the wake of the peace deal with Israel, opposed some of the plans because of Israel's objections.
As minister of civil aviation, a post he held from 2002 to 2011, Shafiq won a reputation for efficiency as he successfully oversaw the modernization of state airline EgyptAir and improvements to the country's airports.

Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project is a Contra-style entry in the shooter franchise, taking place in 2D as opposed to the usual three dimensions. It was released on the PC back in 2002 and received a 7.7 from IGN. Looks like it's now on the way to Xbox Live Arcade, thanks to the Korean Game Rating Board (its version of the Entertainment Software Rating Board, or ESRB).
GamerBytes had the keen eye that spotted the rating. It's not an official announcement, of course, but when a game is rated it's usually not far from being confirmed by the publisher.

Tall, Dark, and Dead – 53 – Otto; or Up with Dead People
Title: Otto; or Up with Dead People
Year: 2008
Director: Bruce LaBruce
Leads: Jey Crisfar, Katharina Klewinghaus
Favorite quote: "The living all seem like the same person to me, and I don't think I like that person very much."
Thoughts: I'm going to start with what I liked about Otto. I loved the opening, as well as the more fantastical elements sprinkled throughout the film – for instance, the characters of Hella and Medea, who are fighting against the idea of a majority-driven consensual reality (to the effect of Hella being presented as a sort of flickering, black and white 1920s ghost). I respected that the creators gave their zombies a job to do, politicizing them in order to talk about issues such as AIDS, revolution, and gay society. I also became very fond of Otto himself.
Zombies were born to be metaphors, after all, and I think that many times zombie creators forget this, or forget to think about it – I know that I didn't think about it before starting my first draft of Dearly, Departed. It wasn't until I finished that I realized, "Ohmigosh, Romero was right. These guys are the best metaphors ever." And with Otto, Medea very consciously does this; someone actually says of her, "She sees Otto not as a man, but as a being upon which she can project her political agenda." This is a very self-aware movie.
All that said, the film fell flat in parts. I got that they were trying to parody avant-garde German cinema, but the end result lacked the skill and humor necessary to pull this off. Additionally, the vast majority of the characters came across as ridiculous and shameful, which may in fact be the point – but it made it hard to want to go along with them for the ride.
This film would be fascinating, I'm sure, to anyone interested in gay horror. I feel unqualified to talk about that aspect of the film, simply because I'm not well read in that particular area. I feel unqualified to unpack many of the themes present in this movie.

These were delicious! Very light and moist. The recipe couldn't have been any easier -- hardest part is separating the eggs!I made a couple of changes: I added a pinch of nutmeg and cinnamon to these. I did not add currants because I am partial to plain scones, plus I am stateside and currants are hard to find. I think raisins are a polarizing ingredient (people either hate or love them), so I didn't want to substitute those either. I used buttermilk instead of milk for the egg wash, and I think it added a slight tang that was really delicious.I made these for a pre-church breakfast on Saturday morning. I had a few left, so I packed up a few for my husband to give to the members of his technology/media ministry. They loved them as much as we did. One person said she took a bite and almost cried out in happiness. :).
Yum! These turned out perfectly. I made them with dried cranberries, and next time I will add 3/4c.

Sanctuary Lakes Football Club will undergo a major re-branding in time for the 2018 Western Region Football League season.
The Sharks nickname and logo will remain, but the club will be known as Point Cook Centrals from next season.
The change of name was mooted at multiple special general meetings in June and was put to a vote in August.
The members voted overwhelmingly to adopt the new name.
"We would like the community of Point Cook to feel more involved and connected to our football club, not just our current members and partners who are already rusted-on members that are connected to our young club," Sharks president Gavin Young said.
"We believe that this change in name is also a change in direction to become a more inclusive community-based club."

Sustrans North Edinburgh volunteers got stuck in to making some path improvements on Wednesday evening at the Craigleith Junction. Long frustrated by mud and puddles taking up half the width of the path, and soil and grass encroaching on the edges, a team of six assembled with spades, shovels and brooms to try and tackle the problem.
In places, the verges had been ploughed up by vehicles, and the piled-up soil was stopping any run off, so permanent puddles were blocking half the path. A couple of drainage channels were dug to let the water escape and the mud and soil was scraped off the tarmac and the verges. This returned over a metre of tarmac to use, with the path suddenly being its full width again.
Elsewhere at the junction, up to a foot of grass and soil embedded along the path edges was scraped back. Around six bags of litter were collected and a signpost pointing in the wrong direction was turned to face the right way.
The group plan to hold regular evening maintenance sessions, with the next one scheduled for 5th June on the Trinity Path, between Fiveways Junction and Warriston Road. To join in, or follow their progress, visit and like their new Facebook page.

Developers of Innovative Sensors Cornered Nearly 80% of the Investment Due to Demand From the Internet of Things, Says Lux Research
BOSTON, MA--(Marketwired - Jul 21, 2016) - Developers of innovative sensors attracted $3.4 billion, or nearly 80% of the $4.3 billion funding for sensor modules over the past decade, underlining their importance in the fast-emerging Internet of Things (IoT), according to Lux Research.
Overall investment in innovative sensors tripled between 2006 and 2015, reaching $486 million in 2015. Over the past decade, sensor processing-related technologies received over $620 million in funding, while packaging solutions attracted just over $200 million and developers of energy harvesting got around $100 million.
"Innovative sensor startups will continue to attract large amounts of venture investment as the Internet of Things emerges as the next major phase in computing, following on the heels of the PC and mobile eras," said Pallavi Madakasira, Lux Research Analyst and lead author of the report titled, "Sensor Innovation: Analyzing Investment Trends Across the $4.3 Billion Spend."
Lux Research analysts evaluated the investment patterns in different types of sensor technologies from 2006 to Q1 2016. Among their findings:

I have just recently experienced working from home, and with just a little over 2 months now, I have quickly learned by experimenting and enjoying "dressing" for work in my home office! And when I say "home office", I mean my small dining table in my little two-bedroom apartment! I also have a beautiful 5 year old daughter who I have the pleasure of taking to school in the morning and picking up her up in the afternoon! I know you will agree with me when I say that as entrepreneur moms, we are always on the go and we have to balance everyday life like crazy! This is one of the biggest reasons why it's important to know what to wear when you work from home!
Knowing what to wear takes out the extra 1 hour or so that takes up your time searching for something to wear. It will save you massive time, which you can put towards being productive at work instead!
Another bonus in knowing what to wear when working from home is that you can plan ahead according to your schedule and always be ready for whatever surprises life throws at you. Here are some Style tips for when you don't know what to wear when working from home:
Working from Home Style Tip #1: Represent YOU even when no one is watching!
Always remember that what you wear plays a big part on your mental, physical and emotional state – it has an effect on how you feel. Your mood and your mannerism! Think about it, when we wear any pajamas or any slouchy stay at home hoody or trackies ….. how do you feel? Don't you feel so casual that you start to sit so casually on the couch? You will be looking at the laptop screen but I bet you start thinking of Netflix…. Or maybe even a cup of hot chocolate….. since we are wearing such casual/stay at home clothes, we subconsciously start to act towards that feeling….. and guess what! that's picked up by others in your attitude.
Now I'm not saying that you have to wear the most professional looking kind of outfit! No need for pencil skirts or button up shirts with your office heels!
"We just need to find the right balance of comfort as well as being able to present ourselves as a professional. It's important that we are making an effort to present ourselves and our business even in our private moments when we are working from home."
Working from home Style Tip #2: Create a Capsule Wardrobe!
Capsule Wardrobe means creating a collection of must haves and essentials which you can easily mix and match with everything in that collection – it's basically a mini wardrobe that you can pick from anytime of the day with not having to worry about the pieces if they mix or match, because they always will! It's also mini collection for a reason – so that we don't get distracted and stay focused on creating an outfit from that collection, instead of looking at millions of outfits pilled up in the closet.
Choose patterns and colours that complement each other. When starting out a capsule wardrobe I tend to go for my favourite piece of the season and go from there… choosing items that will match it and slowly start building the collection using items from my current wardrobe. Since it's a capsule wardrobe, make sure you keep it condensed and not have any more than 15 pieces on there.
Here's some essentials I think you should have when starting out your capsule wardrobe:
- Dark Denim Skinny leg jeans (skinny leg jeans makes it easy to transition from day time flats to heels during the evening. You don't have to worry so much about the length of the pants this way)
- Cropped Cardi or light weight throw over- Structured Jacket to easily wear over smart casual tops
- Maxi Skirts – comfortable and very easily transitioned from a day to a night look/ casual to pulled together.
- Dresses (already an outfit! Yeay!) – just make sure to accessorize when going out to dress it up.
- Mixture of Accessories that will complement and dress up any of the outfits in your capsule wardrobe. – start with a gorgeous necklace to dress up a plain blouse.
- Invest in nude flats and nude heels. One of each. Can't go wrong with these and will go with pretty much everything you are wearing.
- Beautiful and easy to maintain tops/blouses that are made with great quality fabrics.
You'll be surprised with what you come up with. Choose pieces that you can also quickly layer up and accessorize to look pulled together and professional for when you have to rush out of the house.
Working from home Style Tip #3: Quality is Key
Since casual wear seems to be the most comfortable to wear at home, we can still purchase pieces that are casual to add to our capsule wardrobe, but remember to choose items which are of great quality and cut.
Choosing even the simplest casual top is fine but quality is a must. Also look for little details or embellishments that might be an add-on to your casual wear. This might be a nice zipper detail on the side of the top, might be the beautiful way the fabric falls on your body or might be the vibrant colour - always choose something that has a little something extra and has amazing quality. This way, you are wearing comfy casual wear, but still are able to easily dress it up and add luxe when you have to rush out of the house for a meeting.
Choosing something to wear for when you work at home has never been easier! Simplify your closet, get rid of the hours spend looking for something to wear and use those hours towards a more productive, powerful and life transforming business!

The demise of vidushi Suguna Purushothaman on 25 February 2015 has dealt another blow to the world of Carnatic music. An ever smiling person with incredible knowledge of laya aspects of Carnatic music and with a gamaka laden sonorous, sweet voice, Suguna's concerts were enjoyed by connoisseurs and the lay audience.
I had seen Suguna Purushothaman at the Central College of Carnatic Music in the early 1970s. My next encounter with her was in 2001 in Los Angeles, CA, U.S.A. at our music academy SIMA. We had arranged her lecdem followed by a concert with both the Sugunas of the Musiri school – Purushothaman and Varadachari – singing together. Suguna Purushothaman arrived early and while the stage arrangements were undeerway, our president Dr. Vijayaraghavan requested me to give her company. Greetiong her with a namskaram I introduced myself as Vinjamuri Varadaraja Iyengar's daughter. She smiled and told me that she had visited my father at our house in Himayatnagar, Hyderabad in 1959 along with her guru Tinniam Venkatarama Iyer. She recalled how my father had persuaded her to taste her first cup of tea, saying it was a special tea imported from London. I was amazed at her memory.
Suguna Purushothaman won the 'Vinjamuri Varadaraja Iyengar Memorial' Gold Medal four times for the best pallavi singing during the music season at the Music Academy, Chennai – in 1996, 1999, 2004 and 2007. In 2005, she also performed for the 'Vinjamuri Memorial Festival' conducted by SICA of Hyderabad. She readily gave me permission to record her lecture demonstration on talas. The lecdem revealed her expertise in laya. With her daughter Kumuda singing along, she demonstrated how sarali swaras could be practiced by students to improve laya gnanam by keeping the tala steady and singing in three kalas, and by changing the tala speed and singing in one kala. She also demonstrated 'dwitala avadhanam' by keeping two different talas in each hand as she sang and finishing perfectly at the end. She said she had learnt the art from her guru Venkatarama Iyer, by singing the Bhairavi varnam of Pachimiriam Adiyappaiahwhile putting the Ata tala in one hand and the chaturasra jati Triputa tala in misra nadai in the other. She threw light on the creation of the Sarabhanandana tala by composer Syama Sastry and demonstrated the Simhanandana tala (128 aksharas), Sarabhanandana tala (79 aksharas) and also Lakshmeesa tala (24 aksharas). She also sang a pallavi/ tillana she had composed for the demo. It was mesmerising to see her demonstrate such intricate talas effortlessly. I remember, at the end of the demo the official who proposed the vote-of-thanks remarked that he found it difficult to even keep the tala on one hand and it was truly amazing how Suguna Purushothaman maintained two different talas in two hands as she sang.
In 2011 I met Suguna Purushothaman at the Tyagaraja Aradhana in Cleveland. I went up to her as she stood outside the motel and asked her whether she needed some help. She recognized me and told me that she would like to go to the concert hall, but was afraid of crossing the road alone as she could not walk fast and needed someone to assist her. I gladly walked with her to the university hall and we struck up a pleasant conversation. That was one of the memorable days in my life when the heart was filled with joy and contentment. Such was the time spent with Suguna Purushothaman.

Light Up the Holidays with Glowing, Bright Skin!! Skincare that Goes the Distance #3
When it comes to brightening skincare, I might have tried everything that's out there. I have run across several lines of great skincare products that will give you the glowing luminous look that you are seeking. Here's the first of several skincare lines that you will be seeing over the next few days! After all you want to look amazing over the holidays with luminous skin right? Time to get started is now!
This is # 3 in a series on different skincare regimens I have been able to try. Some are complete skincare regimens; others are partial. Today's regimen is a partial because it's only one product — but wow! what a difference it made in my skin! Got to love that!
Lumixyl is a 4 product system that can make a big difference in your skin– particularly if you have hyperpigmentation issues regardless of age but more importantly due to sun exposure. Sold only through physicians and physician based e-commerce stores, this is a regimen that you might really want to try.
Lumixyl™ is a non-toxic, non-irritating, synthetic peptide technology that is clinically shown to significantly improve the appearance of unwanted discoloration, age spots, sun spots and uneven skin tone.
Developed by dermatological researchers at Stanford University, Lumixyl's ground-breaking Decapeptide-12 is the only peptide shown to measurably aid the skin in restraining tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for initiating the overproduction of melanin, that can cause uneven pigmentation and dark spots.
Studies show that Decapeptide-12 helps inhibit the production of melanin more efficaciously than hydroquinone – reducing melanin synthesis by as much as 40 percent compared to treatments with hydroquinone, which reduced production by only 7 percent in the same study. These results are one reason Lumixyl is considered by many to be the first real alternative to Hydroquinone.
Stanford University to improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation, including:
•Age spots
•Sun Spots
•Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
•Uneven skin tone
This regimen is based on
1) Active-Prep Gentle Foaming Cleanser— gentle cleanser that prepares your skin for the peptide and for the glycolic acid topical treatment.
2) Topical Brightening Cream ( Lumixyl peptide) Key Product
Discovered by researchers at the prestigious Stanford University, Lumixyl Topical Brightening Creme features the Lumixyl peptide – decapeptide-12 – comprised of naturally occurring amino acids that target discoloration and dark spots on the surface of the skin. It works to help regulate overproduction of melanin by inhibiting the tyrosinase enzyme used to create melanin by the melanocytes in your skin
3) GlycoPeel 20 (glycolic acid for night time use)– Key product;
Formulated specifically for use with the Lumixyl peptide, Glycopeel 20 synergistically works to diminish the appearance of hyperpigmentation by exfoliating older skin cells and hyperpigmentation trapped in the surface of the skin, and stimulating celular turnover.
Accelerates natural exfoliation of dead skin cells
Helps diminish the appearance of hyperpigmentation
Improves skin texture and tone as it helps to stimulate healthy cellular turnover
Helps tighten and reduce the appearance of enlarged pores
Paraben free, medical grade formulation
4) MoistureLock SPF 30 Sunblock— Key Product
Without a sunblock to protect and moisturize your skin, this treatment won't "stick". You will have wasted your time — because sunblock is essential 7 days a week every single day– even when raining or overcast!
Add these 4 products up and you get some serious results without dryness, peeling, or irritation. Sounds too good to be true– right? This kit retails for about $200 dollars, yet is as effective as products that are hundreds of dollars more– however it might take a little longer than some of the MD treatments that you could try out like lasers and peels.
In addition to its efficacy, Lumixyl™ is the only skin brightener to offer all of the following benefits in a single product:
•Non-irritating or allergenic
•Safe for all skin types
•Safe for prolonged use
•Easily degraded by the skin
•Will not increase skin's sensitivity to the sun
•Stabilized so that it will not lose potency or turn brown after opening
•A luxurious, moisture-rich texture
I tried this collection and saw reduction in the pigmentation that I had picked up during the summer. While it works– and it does take patience– one of the key products is the GlycolPeel 20.. and you should apply that in a thin layer to not aggravate your skin. You might try applying a bit more on the pigmented areas.
Also the use of sunblock is absolutely essential. Despite using 2-3 sunblocks per day– layered on — during my vacation, I still picked up pigmentation. So the results you see will be good to very good if you use all these products religiously (that means do not ladle it on) but you also use enough sunblock on your face which means at least one tablespoon for your entire face and allow it to sink into the skin before putting on makeup.
I liked this collection a lot. It was easy to go from one product to another and just keep building up the treatment.

The Morbid Process Of Preparing For The Queen's Death
They've been planning for 60 years.
On April 21st, Queen Elizabeth II will turn 91 years old. During her 65-year reign, she's outlasted 12 US presidents and she is the only queen most British citizens have ever known.
Here in the States, we have dynastic families?—?the Kennedys, the Bushes, the Clintons?—?but the American government is specifically designed to limit and control the power of our political leaders. And while both British power specifically and monarchal power on the whole have declined considerably during Queen Elizabeth's reign, Americans cannot truly grasp her significance as a cultural icon and symbol of British power; when she dies, many people will feel as if they lost their own mother.
In Britain, the deaths of royal family members are heavily orchestrated affairs. When King George V was close to death in 1936, his doctor, Lord Dawson, made the decision to euthanize his patient, injecting him with 750 mg of morphine and a gram of cocaine. The injection was intended to relieve the King's agony, but also to expedite the process in order for the news to make the next morning's paper.
The Queen's death will be no different. Whether she dies at home or abroad, the country has prepared an incredibly elaborate response strategy.
Immediately following her death
Once the Queen dies, her eldest son, Charles, will inherit the throne. His siblings?—?Princess Anne, Prince Edward and Prince Andrew?—?will kiss his hands, pledging their loyalty to the new monarch.
The Queen's private secretary, Sir Christopher Geidt, will use a secure phone line to contact Britain's Prime Minister, Theresa May, with the previously agreed-upon code words: "London Bridge is down." The Queen is the head of state of 15 governments outside the UK and serves as a nominal leader for another 36 nations; the news will pass to the leaders of these countries next.
Then there is the matter of notifying the media, and subsequently, the rest of the planet. A press release will go out to the UK's press agency and to media outlets around the world. As soon as the news is made public, a door at Buckingham Palace will open and a footman outfitted in black will exit to pin a "black-edged notice" to the castle gates; the castle website will be updated to a single black webpage bearing the same text as the notice.
Around the time of the Cold War, the BBC installed a "radio alert transmission system," or RATS; the alarm's purpose was to alert the nation in the event of an attack or emergency. Most BBC staff have only heard the alarm employed in tests, but after the Queen passes, the alarm will sound as a call to national mourning.
Lack of content will not be an issue: In Britain, the Guardian reports that the paper's deputy editor has a list of stories ready to go; the Times of London purportedly has 11 days' worth of queen-related coverage planned. Other news organizations have practiced extensively, utilizing the name "Mrs. Robinson" during covert rehearsals. Experts are locked into contracts to give their exclusive takes to specific news organizations. Radio stations have crafted two levels of playlists with "sad" and "saddest" music. Fewer comedy programs will air on TV, everyone will wear black and people will be released from work early.
The mourning period
The Queen's death will be marked by a 12-day mourning period, followed by the funeral. During this time, the newly minted king will take a short tour of four countries to greet his new constituents (Queen Elizabeth embarked on similar tours after her father's death in 1952).
Her body will rest in Buckingham Palace's throne room, next to an altar, the funeral cloth and the royal standard (a flag depicting the shield of the Royal Arms); four Grenadier Guards?—?members of the most senior regiment of British infantry?—?will stand sentinel.
Since 1672, the Norfolk family has assumed responsibility for royal funeral proceedings; the 18th Duke of Norfolk is in charge of Queen Elizabeth's funeral. The elaborate ceremony is expected go off without a hitch, largely owing to the fact that they started planning for the event in the 1960s. Organizers meet two to three times a year to update, refine and scrutinize the arrangements. Certain variables are already understood (it will take 28 minutes to march from St. James's Palace to Westminster Hall, where the body will lie in state). Other factors will be determined in real time by the new king.
The day after Queen Elizabeth's death (also known as D+1) Charles will officially be declared king. During the Ascension Council, which will take place that same day, he will pledge a vow to protect the Church in Scotland.
Four days after the Queen's death (D+4), her coffin will move to Westminster Hall, where it will rest for four days; for 23 hours a day, guards will watch as the Queen's subjects come to pay their respects. Every detail is plotted out, from how often the wreaths on the coffin will be replaced to how many portable toilets and water stations will be needed to accommodate the half a million people expected to attend.
Most businesses will close on the day of the funeral, 12 days after her death. Big Ben will ring at 9am, signifying the start of the proceedings. The funeral will take place in Westminster Abbey, in front of 2,000 guests. When the funeral begins at 11am, the country will cease all activity?—?for a moment, everyone and everything will stop, acknowledging the end of an era.
In his incredibly researched article for the Guardian, reporter Sam Knight writes that Queen Elizabeth is "Britain's last living link with our former greatness?—?the nation's id, its problematic self-regard." The last few years of Queen Elizabeth's reign have been particularly fraught (see: Brexit; Scotland's possible defection from the UK; powerful forces in Australia's government pushing to pull out of the Commonwealth and establish a republic; the possibility that others will follow). The pomp and circumstance expected for Queen Elizabeth's passing will celebrate her life and mourn her death, but it will also signify the official demise of Britain's global superiority. When Elizabeth dies, the country will mourn their queen, but also their legacy.

I tried it out with a few of my friends on our girls trip to Bali and it was fun! All of us were in our pyjamas and we were applying it like war paint. It was funny because it felt like applying tar to our faces! One thing to note though, if you have sensitive eyes, you might feel your eyes water when the mask is wet. Yeah, even though you did not apply the mask on your eyes. 4 of us tried, and 2 of us got watery eyes, but the other 2 were fine. Just something you might want to note. It didn't bother me too much though. Just close your eyes and rest for a bit 😉
I was trying to peel it off and I'm not just making this face for fun. It stuck really well to my skin! One of my friends said it ripped her facial hair off. LOL! Rinse off any residue with warm water. Follow with moisturizer. It's recommended to use once or twice a week.
– Parabens
– Sulfates
– Synthetic Fragrances
– Synthetic Dyes
– Petrochemicals
– Phthalates
– GMOs
– Triclosan
Sephora says:
This jet-black, mineral-rich mask creates a unique peel-off effect that delivers powerful detoxifying, purifying, and brightening results. Made with a premiere-quality clay, its deep-cleansing properties draw out dirt and oil. Other natural ingredients go to work exfoliating skin and refining pores. Powerful antioxidants shrink pores, firm skin, and reduce inflammation. Once dried, the mask strips away dead skin, impurities and excess oil to reveal immediate and visible results.
When I'm in Sephora next, I might just get the full sized tube 😉 If you're there, go ask for a sample and try it out yourself. You don't look pretty during, but you will after. LOL!
